@Pioneer1, there is a longer clip where NF Jr, expounds on it. If I find it, I'll post a link. That's not an accurate summation of the movie. The King (man) does have several wives. The women warriors do not hate men. They have taken a vow not to marry or bare children. Otherwise, they are soldiers doing a job to protect the kingdom's business interests. There are some head scratching depictions but there are a couple storylines running through the movie. I won't give away too much of what it's about but the movie is entertaining in a "Set It Off" kinda way. I left the theater with my manhood firmly intact. I'm glad Viola Davis is already a married woman.

@Pioneer1, here ya go. Yep. NF Jr. mentioned it several years ago. Here's a shorter clip.

No gripe or argument. I just asked for the current AfroAmerican agenda to which politicians can be held accountable. That GOP Commitment to America is not it.

The man definitely gives it straight with no chaser and his perspective won't be an easy pill for many AfroAmericans to swallow if they're even inclined to listen.

@Pioneer1, you're right...it isn't that the white population is declining, it's not growing fast enough. They're not satisfied with controlling all levels of power and global domination.

The case needs to go to the federal level as a civil rights matter regardless of whether or not the state prosecutes the battery charges. Ben Crump might get a phone call. It's amazing that videos capture these racist incidents and yet we're told not to believe what we see and hear; let the investigation play out. Usually, these racist folks beat the charge and find a job elsewhere. It's ridiculous.

Black Americans are powerless in that regard especially without a united front among us.

You're right. Those groups are powerful and dangerous. They could roll the US back 100 years if left unchecked.

False. Instead of pulling up articles from the 1970s, I'll wait for to you list the current AfroAmerican special interest agenda to which they can hold politicians of both parties accountable. BTW, Newark is still considered one of the most dangerous cities in New Jersey.

America is still wide open to white immigrants. The governor of Ohio did a whole public service announcement welcoming Ukrainians. That same governor didn't open his pie-hole when Haitians were being turned away by border agents on horseback. Nor did that governor tell DeSantis and Abbott to send those buses and planes filled with non-white immigrants to Ohio.

Some people consider homosexuality unnatural and perverse like bestiality. People shouldn't consider it a threat because homosexuality cannot exist without heterosexuality. Eliminating heterosexuality would be the end of mankind. Nothing to gain there. Racism is having the power to subjugate an entire group of people based on skin color. Homophobia is a dislike or prejudice against gay people. There is no power in it. Racism and homophobia are wrong. People should be able to enjoy their lives without fear of persecution or retribution.

Homosexuality thrives in the United States for two reasons, 1) there are many White homosexuals and 2) the US promotes freedom of expression up to a point. In providing equal rights to AfroAmericans and White women, it's only natural that *rights* were extended to the next group fought for it...homosexuals. I thought it was some BS that homosexuals went so far as to equate their struggle to the Civil Rights movement though. Other than the Stonewall Riots in NYC and a few dust-ups in San Francisco, I don't recall gay folks being killed, beat up, dog attacked and water-hosed like AfroAmericans in the South. They've always had the right to vote; eat and drink wherever they choose to do so. Of course, here in America, as there are many white homosexuals in high places, they had the resources to get their agenda passed. When they decided gay marriage was necessary in order to make medical decisions for their partner and pass down inheritances, they formed like a Voltron and got busy making it happen. Otherwise, there is no other place on the planet that homosexuality is tolerated to the extent that it is in the United States. Surely, there are homosexuals in other parts of the world but they aren't free or powerful. Check with the Middle East or Africa or Russia or China. They aren't playing with it. The system of racism white supremacy will use anything to undermine Black men. That's why the media falls all over itself to show gay Black men at every turn. It reinforces the other narrative that Black men are weak and effeminate and unworthy to procreate. It also offsets the hypermasculine image of athletes and *some* entertainers.

Teaching and learning to share is normal human behavior. Treat others as one wishes to be treated. It is essential to survival. However, teaching and spreading hate is an evil form of human conditioning. Nothing good comes from hatred. IMO, ego is only a negative trait when it is utilized to harm or destroy other human beings. If one is self-absorbed without producing postive results...that's a clown. Otherwise, ego often motivates human beings to move from insolence and complacency and strive to be better. The benefit of human excellence usually extends beyond the individual. I'd enlist 10 egotistical people to solve a problem knowing at least one of them will come up with a solution. Even better if they collaborate. Win-win.

Immigration is only a *problem* when the people are non-white. Otherwise, it is bolsters the economy. White folks are called refugees when they leave their home country in the midst of chaos and turmoil. Ukrainians and now Russians can show up in any country they so desire with open arms. But, non-white folks are illegal aliens/immigrants when trying to escape a bad situation. The most interesting thing to me is that non-white folks defend the overt racism attached to immigration. There's no shortage of Americans (Blacks and Hispanics) who open their mouths with that BS talking point about closing our borders. Shut up. H8ll, if White folks could round up and deport those same American citizens, they would do so in a nanosecond. Non-white folks should be outraged over the treatment of immigrants from the Caribbean and South and Central America. But, wealthy folks really do not have a problem with it. They make plenty money on the backs of immigrants doing the work that most Americans are unwilling to do. The stunt that Southern racists are pulling in transporting immigrants to Northern cities is purely political. The question is why is the government and politicians in those places allowing it to happen. Two sides of the same coin.

Understood. IMO, human beings aren't born flawed in the way they deal with each other. Most human dysfunction stems from taught and learned behavior and environment conditions imposed by external forces. I'm surely not advocating a situation where AfroAmericans simply flip the script on White folks. I would not want to see anybody oppressed, mistreated and/or killed for no reason. I would like to see the system of racism white supremacy replaced with one of justice; balance and fairness for all of humanity. People should be free to enjoy their lives as long as it does not harm others. I simply want all human beings to treat each other with love. The only reason human beings having love for each other doesn't exist right now is due to the evil that men have done and continue to do.

To date, Black folks have not created an agenda or list of special interests for our greater good to which any politicians can be held accountable.

The Crown Act was enacted to ban discrimination against black students and employees over their natural hairstyles. Like most laws, it will benefit others too.

Same here. I've been told the movie would make for a good date night idea. So, I'll round up and sponsor a woman who's willing to watch it with me.

I see what you did there. IMO, there is no secret agenda. The system of racism white supremacy operates in plain view.

Yep. @anonymous50 has definitely written a great post reflecting a level of consciousness that I'm proud to read/see.

Deservedly so my beautiful sista. Enjoy the time you have left. Take comfort in knowing folks like myself still have just enough time and energy to carry the give a d8mn torch.

That's hilarious.

I so wish there had been 1,000 Nat Turners. He was a hero.

Interestingly, despite having access to free education and a ton of reading material, I find that few people in general regardless of their level of intelligence have meaningful conversations. As NF Jr would say...most of it is trashy.

@Troy, folks living in cities need to figure out whatever it would take in order to survive and thrive within their environment. There is seriousness in what I write. Some of it is figurative. I have to add a pinch of humor as well. The point of my post in this thread is that a gift should be something of use.
